Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-games

I was playing Seahaven. According to the rules, you can only move "free
reserve slots+1" number of cards at maximum. However the game has a
feature that if it is valid to move the lowest card in a stack, you are
able to move the hole stack of cards to the foundation.

I had a stack consiting of many cards (more than five). I call that
stack X. The only legal move was to move it, stack X, to the foundation.
Another move was possible, to move the stack X to another stack Y, but I
had too many cards in the stack X to to that.

The game usually prohibits movement of cards at all if the stack is to
big to be able to move, but now that lock was release on stack X because
it could move to the foundation. I was also, despite the rules, able to
cheat by moving it to stack Y. It accepted, even marked the lowest card
on stack Y blue, signaling that the move was possible.

This is probably not cheating in Seahaven, since the best move is always
to move the cards to the foundation. However, the engine is the same for
all games and this might be cheating in another game. It is against the
rules anyhow. The move should only be valid to the foundation and not to
stack Y.
